I'm seeing Miche Primato needle-bearing headsets being talked about as replacements for Stronglight A9's, but I haven't been able to determine whether they are English threaded.

The Miche Primato headset on my ALAN Carbonio is English threaded..... it's been working great on my bike for about three years now. No reason for me to think that it will not last as long as my Stronglight A9s...
